The hour hand on the clock has pointed to 4:20 in the middle of the night, almost early in the morning.
Li Huacheng looked at the God of War whose identity was unknown in front of him with burning eyes.
His spirit was in a state of extreme exhaustion, but at the same time he was also in an extremely excited state.
At this moment, he felt like a madman, and he was listening to another madman tell a story.
Is it telling a story
Or is it the truth of the world
Order, neutrality, chaos, dragon clan, myth, human emperor, authority, worlds, God of War, Xi and Xibai, authority...
Real imprint, real environment...
Everything impacted his reason and brain with an unprecedented excitement and madness.
Li Huacheng pulled out a cigarette with some trembling, lit it and took a deep breath. As if something suddenly occurred to him, he took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to the God of War in front of him.
Ares held out his hand, fingers spread.
Li Huacheng was stunned for a moment before putting the cigarette into the God of War's hand.
But the cigarette passed directly through the palm of the God of War and fell to the ground.
Li Huacheng's fingers were slightly hot.
He glanced down, dazed and silent for a long time.
His eyes wandered between the cigarette on the floor and his fingertips.
Both of them had turned red at this time, with warmth, that was blood.
The blood of the god of war.
Li Huacheng raised his head and glanced at the God of War. The figure in front of him was so clear, but it was not a real thing, just a shadow. However, the illusory blood mist that continued to float from his body was so real when it came into contact.
"My current essence is just a memory. It can be said to be real, or it can be said to be illusory."
The God of War thought for a while and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you."
Because he didn't understand it himself.
This is a new authority, a new path. Everything currently is just the beginning. There are still too many unknown things or things that the God of War himself has never thought of.
Li Huacheng didn't pay attention to this problem.
He took a big sip from the cigarette. His throat felt uncomfortable because he smoked too hard, and his voice became hoarse: "What are the real imprints and the real environment?"
The God of War frowned. He thought for a long time before he came up with a relatively easy-to-understand explanation. He said slowly: "It is a place where the will of the world is difficult to influence, and there are people who are difficult to influence."
"The will of the world?"
Li Huacheng frowned.
He had actually known this word for a long time, but he still couldn't understand it.
"Any life that wants to become strong needs to come into contact with this world. What you want to do in this world depends on whether you can do it according to the concept here. For example, you eat, drink water, sleep, and walk, but in our eyes , so powerful that it can destroy the world, and so small that any tiny movement requires permission. If your vitality does not have the permission to walk, then you can only sit in a wheelchair. With these most basic abilities, we Call it basic permissions, which is zero. Zero level permissions.”
"As human beings, we don't need to break through this level of authority like some plants. What we need is to see the truth of this world clearly and then climb higher. Anyone who wants to upgrade their authority in this world must do more Many things require contact with the will of the world. The three paths we currently have, the earliest one, is to sharpen yourself with the will of the world, confront the tough, and fight head-on to the end. Either you will trample the will of the world under your feet, or you will die under the suppression of the will of the world. Next. This path is too tragic and not suitable for everyone, so there is a second path, which is to deceive the will of the world, support the world with lies, walk between the true and the false, and dominate everything. And in the end One path is to imitate the will of the world, control one's own destiny, or even replace it."
"But no matter how many roads there are, they all have to deal with the will of the world. In a real environment, the influence of the will of the world will be greatly weakened, to an extent you can't imagine, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and some natural disasters. ... This is almost the limit of what the world's will can achieve. Returners lay a solid foundation here, choose their own path, and leave their own legends. Only when they enter the starry sky can they better face the world's will. The upper limit in the future It will also be high.”
Li Huacheng understood something in a daze. He opened his eyes and murmured to himself: "You mean, the world, no, the starry sky... no, the entire universe is conscious?! In other words, the entire universe is actually conscious. A living thing?"
The God of War was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."
"This is impossible."
Li Huacheng laughed extremely ridiculously: "You want to tell me that the land under my feet, the earth, and the Milky Way are all alive? How is this possible? What evidence do you have?"
"Of course there is evidence."
The God of War said and shook his head again. The universe is conscious. Such evidence has actually been there a long time ago, such as the third path of the neutral camp.
But even if he says it now, Li Huacheng can't understand it, and the God of War can't say it either.
Li Huacheng waited for a while, but without waiting for the other party's explanation, he nodded: "Okay, even if I believe you, the universe is conscious, then why is the earth what you call the real environment? Isn't this part of the world? "
"The universe is indeed conscious, but we are not sure whether the universe is a living entity. Its existence is so great that even we cannot understand it at the moment, but being unable to understand it does not mean that it does not exist."
The God of War said.
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes: "I'm talking about the real environment, the earth. Why is it the real environment that cannot be affected by the so-called world will?"
"The earth has a lifespan. Do you agree with this?"
The God of War said suddenly.
Li Huacheng was stunned and nodded: "Of course."
This is a fact. Even today’s scientists can roughly estimate the lifespan of the earth and even the entire solar system. That is an astronomical number calculated in hundreds of millions of years. It is extremely remote, but even in the distance, the earth also has a lifespan.
"I suddenly thought of how to convince you."
The God of War laughed: "Since you don't deny that the earth has lifespan, why do you deny that the earth and even the universe are alive?"
"How can we explain life span if it is not life?"
Li Huacheng: "..."
The God of War did not wait for him to refute anything, and continued: "The sun also has a lifespan. Do you agree with this?"
Li Huacheng nodded silently.
"The mass of the sun is not large, and the energy it can provide is even insignificant in the eyes of some peak beings, but it is indeed a star in its prime, but all stars will eventually die, and they cannot escape the three It’s a fate, just like people will eventually turn into corpses, the same goes for stars, turning into white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.”
"Then, the entire universe and the entire starry sky also have a lifespan. Do you agree with this?"
Li Huacheng remained silent.
How many years does the universe have left to live
The current scientific community has really not calculated this, nor can it be calculated accurately, or even impossible.
But slowly, Li Huacheng nodded.
"So what will happen when the life of the universe comes to an end?"
Ares asked.
"The heat death of stars?"
Subconsciously, Li Huacheng spit out a word.
This is one of the current speculations in the scientific community. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the degree of chaos in the universe will continue to increase. When it reaches the maximum value, all energy in the universe will be converted into thermal energy, and the temperature of all materials will reach thermal equilibrium. They are all decomposed and evenly distributed. There is no more flow and transformation of energy, and there is total silence.
"You're talking about entropy."
The God of War said calmly: "Based on the current scientific research here, entropy is irreversible, but this is not correct."
He didn't say what was wrong.
The current scientific community cannot find the so-called chaotic camp. The price he paid for forcing the explanation may be something he cannot afford. He can only tell Li Huacheng that this conclusion is wrong in terms of higher civilizations or other camps.
Since the universe is conscious, how could something irreversible happen
"That is... "
Li Huacheng thought hard. His knowledge in this area only came from a few papers he had seen before. He was the president and not a scientist, so how could he study these things
"The Great Rip of the Universe?"
Li Huacheng asked, this is another speculation at present,
Matter and dark matter produce gravity, and dark energy produces repulsion. The repulsion is greater than gravity, causing the universe to accelerate expansion. Eventually, everything in the universe will be completely torn apart by the expansion of the universe at a certain moment and disintegrated into nothingness...
That's probably what it meant, Li Huacheng couldn't remember clearly.
"The big tear..."
The God of War smiled, and his smile was a little weird, but Li Huacheng couldn't see it clearly in the blood mist.
"I just had a taste of a regional tear, and it was quite exciting."
There was a smile in his voice.
"..."
Li Huacheng thought it was awesome, but he didn't know if what the God of War said about tearing his physical body apart was the same as what he was talking about.
But obviously, the God of War rejected this possibility.
"So the universe is shrinking?"
Li Huacheng asked, space-time cycle theory is also very popular. After the expansion of the universe reaches a certain level, it will stop and reverse. Finally, all space matter will begin to collapse and become a singularity, which is equivalent to a reverse Big Bang. Time will flow backwards and the universe will reverse. This is the most interesting theory at present, as if the universe is always playing the same story in a cycle of time and space.
"In a way, that's true, but it's not the truth."
The God of War's voice was calm.
"so?"
Li Huacheng was speechless.
"This statement is that the universe is reincarnating, but reincarnation is not the end."
The God of War's voice was soft and vague: "It is not the final fate of the universe."
"So what's the ultimate fate?"
Li Huacheng's tone was dull.
"I have no idea."
The God of War said calmly and casually.
"..."
The corners of Li Huacheng's mouth kept twitching, and he finally swallowed back the curse words that came to his mouth.
"There is a gap in my memory. Maybe it has been too long, or maybe it has something to do with the end of the world. After all, after I returned, I only found a skin of the original me. Many thoughts and memories have disappeared. Maybe I know now The truth about the end of the universe... is only the two of them. But that won't happen until they fully return."
"Which two?"
Li Huacheng asked subconsciously, and then his eyes widened suddenly as if he suddenly reacted.
"Of course Xi and Xibai."
The God of War smiled and said, "That's Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai now."
"The real mark on them is more complete than mine and Wang's."
Li Huacheng's heart beat wildly.
The God of War explained: "Before the beginning, when there were only a few of us left, one of them chose to live with the world, which is equivalent to permanently and completely falling, or in other words, living without the possibility of return. His existence, It is equivalent to the ancestors of the current human race in the universe, and the so-called human race in the universe is the current white race."
"As for Wang, he chose to become reincarnation. Because of this, although he has returned now, he cannot reach his peak state."
"I made a small sacrifice and chose to become the foundation of the human race. The skin I left behind became the worlds, and now it is back in my hands."
"And Xi and Xibai have become hope."
"That's why now there is the so-called human race."
"This was the beginning, and before that, there was no such thing as human race. At that time, we did not call ourselves humans. In the final analysis, the word human was nothing more than a title. We at that time, I no longer Remember what it was called..."
"That was all before the beginning."
"What happens after that?"
Li Huacheng's eyes condensed.
"Then... the world will fall apart."
The God of War said calmly.
There was an invisibly sudden chill in the surrounding air.
A ferocious and cold aura began to gather towards the God of War, extremely violent.
The world is shattered...
Li Huacheng's breathing paused subconsciously.
"The world is reincarnating, but real destruction and ending are rare. Anyway, in my memory, there is only one, but I have not seen what it looks like specifically."
"It's just that in my memory, the human race, which was not called the human race at that time, was different from now. We had a nearly immortal lifespan, an extremely perfect appearance, and there were almost no secrets in the world. Everyone at that time can now To say it's like a god is..."
The God of War thought for a while: "My memory is severely damaged, but if I guessed correctly, before the destruction, the world should have been four-dimensional."
"Fourth dimension?"
Li Huacheng began to feel so awesome again.
"I don't know whether it is four-dimensional time and space or four-dimensional space, but what I remember deeply is that at that time, whether we were seeing or doing things, we would have one more angle than now, at least one more angle, an angle that does not exist now, regardless of distance. , ignoring space. At that time, if I wanted to, when my ability was strong enough, I could even take away your heart from a galaxy away without leaving any wounds on you, but now, I can't Now, even with my true form, I can’t do it anymore, I have to draw the sword from at least one galaxy away.”
The God of War whispered, and after a long silence, he continued: "That should be what it will be like after the world is shattered. The dimensions are reduced, the world ends, and it changes from four dimensions to three dimensions. If the world is shattered again, this world will be endless. The starry sky may become two-dimensional, and we will perish together with the whole world."
"Perhaps earlier, before we were the original, there were five-dimensional space, six-dimensional space, and even higher... But as the world was shattered again and again, the dimensions were reduced again and again, and finally became This is just our speculation. Even now, there are too many things we don’t understand. All we can do is work hard to survive and continue to struggle in desperate situations in order to survive. For the world
As far as we're concerned, we're just wretches. "
He raised his head and took a deep look at Li Huacheng: "Do you understand now?"
"Earth, in our parlance, is called the City of Miracles. This is the real environment, and the so-called real environment is the planet that remained after the old world was destroyed. The so-called real imprint is the planet that was left after the old world was destroyed. After that, those who still survive or still complete their return.”
"This is the real environment and the real brand. It is something that the will of the world can affect to a certain extent but cannot completely affect. Other people can also have the real brand. When a certain authority reaches its peak, they can also gather the real brand to fight against it to a certain extent. The will of the world is also the confidence that the peak authority can protect the human race to the greatest extent."
"Li Tianlan... Qin Weibai..."
Li Huacheng murmured to himself. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Okay, if what you said is true..."
He was silent for a while: "If this is the case, then why do you still fight against the world? Or even want to destroy the world?"
"To be precise, we are fighting against the will of the world."
The God of War said slowly: "As I said before, are you willing to accept the fate of everything that has been arranged? Your life does not belong to you, and when you do not even have the most instinctive thoughts and desires, you are still You? You have nothing, you don’t know if you are alive, so are you alive or dead?"
The corners of Li Huacheng's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.
"That is an absolute order. The rules are so regular that you don't even know the rules yourself. No, even the concept of ourselves does not exist in our minds. Without thoughts, without thinking, we are walking dead, lifeless, and more terrifying than death. Despair, are you willing to feel like this?"
"No need to rush to answer me."
The God of War said: "If you are willing to accept it, you can continue to make breakthroughs in the spiritual realm. After you break through again, you will become a creature of order. No, it is the creature of order that will become you, because you will no longer be there by then. All Your thoughts are gone, and all you have left is a body of absolute law."
"At that time, the will of the world in the City of Miracles will be completely focused on you. Once again, against the real environment of the human race and the fate of the human race, the will of the world will completely lock the location of the City of Miracles. Do you know that result?"
Li Huacheng swallowed and said hoarsely: "What could it be?"
"The will of the world will feel the real environment to a certain extent, but it cannot lock the location of the real environment, so the limit of what it can do here is to cause some natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, plagues, tsunamis, storms, droughts, etc.. . ”
"But if the location of the City of Miracles is locked, what awaits will only be destruction, fundamental destruction. With the current technological level of the earth, you can't even withstand a dark energy cannon. The entire planet All will disappear completely, and all life on earth will not survive."
"The lack of real environment is also a huge weakening for us, which can also hit us better."
"So you have been protecting the earth all these years?"
Li Huacheng felt like he was being protected by aliens, even though the God of War was not an alien.
"You look up now and the starry sky you see is fake."
The God of War calmly stated a fact that shocked the scientific community.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Huacheng's hair stood on end.
"Over the City of Miracles, there is my sword intention. Above my sword intention, there is Xuanyuan's sword formation. In addition, the City of Miracles, and even the entire galaxy space, have been folded by us using various means. You Many of the different planets we saw are just two sides of the same planet, and all of this is to hide the exact location of the City of Miracles."
Li Huacheng looked at him silently for a long while before he asked: "Do you think I can believe what you said?"
The God of War looked at him calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me. You are the president of Central Continent. You currently have many resources and can help Li Tianlan most directly. If you believe it, you can do something. This is why I say hello to you. If you don’t believe it, this is just a story. When the creatures of order replace you, I will kill you as soon as possible and let Li Tianlan become the president. He has a real mark, as long as he is the president In this position, the will of heaven and earth in Zhongzhou will be suppressed to the lowest level, and this is enough."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Li Huacheng couldn't help but ask.
"I came by accident."
There was a flash of embarrassment in the eyes of the God of War, as if he was thinking of the time when he was trapped in the screen again. He slowly shook his head: "But since I'm here, it's good to see the return of Xi and Xibai. , this may be able to make up for some of my memory, and if possible, I can also discuss new permissions with him and open a road to the sky for the human race."
He paused and suddenly laughed: "Besides, your current methods are not very good. Jiang Shangyu, Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun... These opponents are a bit weak to Li Tianlan. Since you want to help him complete the task, For the most perfect comeback, it is natural to find him an opponent of sufficient weight."
The God of War thought for a moment and suddenly laughed. In the endless clash of sharp edges, his body was visibly trembling with laughter: "Strictly speaking, this is a story about a son-in-law beating his father-in-law, and I am the father. Yes, I have to stand by my son and watch over the daughter-in-law who is just about to make a move. It’s a family ethics drama.”
Li Huacheng looked confused: "Why does my son-in-law beat my father-in-law? Your son?"
"Um."
The God of War nodded: "But you probably haven't seen it yet, but you will see it soon. This time I brought Li Dongcheng's sword energy and state of mind, which can help the boy open up the situation, and the father's debt will be paid by the son. A son pays his debts to his father, and since Tianlan cannot meet Dongcheng for the time being, asking him to face an opponent similar to his own son can be regarded as giving him a side view of the pain his son has experienced, right?"
"Li Dongcheng..."
Li Huacheng murmured to himself and said with confirmation: "Is he Li Tianlan's son?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Ares asked rhetorically.
"But... Tianlan and Qin Weibai don't have a son yet, and Li Kuangtu just said that he met Li Dongcheng."
"I did it."
The God of War admitted frankly: "I took Qin Weibai and Li Kuangtu to another time and space that coexists with this one. That is the territory of the God of War. Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai have no sons here, but in my place, they are Yes, you are an unparalleled genius. I brought this sword energy from Li Dongcheng’s heyday and his state of mind. From now on, it will be a different kind of father-son confrontation.”
"Another time and space..."
Li Huacheng was really a little numb.
"We worked together to cut it out."
The God of War said: "The next dark world should be very lively. Just watch the show."
"I have found a whetstone for Tianlan, now..."
Li Huacheng smiled bitterly.
"Whetstone?"
The God of War raised his eyebrows: "That trio you are looking for? Jiang Shangyu used to be quite interesting, but now..."
"Are they worthy?"
